UNSPSC 42171507: Surgical tents

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a tent in a surgical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300910.

UNSPSC 42171507 Surgical tents (Commodity) covers temporary fabric tent structures procured by state and local healthcare systems, educational institutions, and emergency management agencies. Recent opportunities show demand for both large-scale tension fabric tent systems for facility expansion and specialized medical equipment and support services for surgical operations. Mt. San Antonio Community College District sought a 25-meter by 30-meter clear-span aluminum-frame tent with double-coated PVC polyester fabric and wind-resistance engineering for parking lot deployment, while San Mateo County's hospital system issued concurrent RFPs for laser equipment and surgical power instruments to support operating room modernization. The issuing bodies are predominantly public hospitals and health systems (San Mateo Medical Center), community college districts (Mt. San Antonio), and county governments (San Mateo County), with healthcare facility upgrade and emergency-response capacity expansion driving procurement activity.

California dominates recent activity under this code, with San Mateo County's hospital system posting two related solicitations in June and July 2026 (laser equipment RFP due July 10, 2026, and surgical power equipment RFP with a May 28 proposal deadline) and Mt. San Antonio Community College District issuing an RFQ for tent purchase, delivery, and installation due July 6, 2026. The geographic concentration is narrow; no opportunities from other states appear in the recent block. Medical equipment procurement dominates the visible scope of work, though the tent solicitation at Mt. San Antonio represents core code activity — a fixed-price RFQ for a complete, engineered temporary structure including labor, materials, transportation, and installation, with optional disassembly pricing due by June 30, 2027.
